We walk through Jacqui's story of getting into security, her challenges in landing a job, what got her to start what would become such an influential security community, the future for AWSN and how organisations can do more to attract a more diverse culture. Knowing Jacqui over the years has given me some insight into the incredible demand in starting a security community.
